Ill have to agree. I love the .280, but it is somewhat a forgotten cal. with the original being named the 7mm Express led to some confusion. I had a earl model Rem semi auto in 280 and loved it. Wish I still had it.
There will always be 270 ammo availability, not so for 280, so unless you plan to reload, I would go with the 270, which guns are still being built.
